Today I'm are honored to chat with Josie Whittlesey of Drama Club, which provides theater education and programming to incarcerated and paroled youth in New York City. This vastly underserved population is engaged with improv and positive mentorship, giving them rehabilitation and support.
As founder and executive director, Josie works tirelessly to make a difference in these children's lives through the power of self-expression. In this episode, she shares her experiences leading to the formation of Drama Club, working in the prison system, and affecting the lives of those in her classes.
Find Drama Club on their website where you can help support their efforts. Also, follow DC on social media: @DramaClubNYC.
